Here's a couple more pages of thumbnails.
The top page I used a Sharpie to lay in the darks, can't get too fussy this way, and used pencil for the mid tones. Again, as I said in previous post, using a direct and permanent medium like an ink pen forces me into being more thoughtful and decisive when laying down darks.
Doing this allows me to see the design immediately and do different versions.

The bottom is black ink brushed, no pens.
They can get a bit clumsy at times but are quick and literally show 'the big picture', another advantage of ink.182
